macOS 26 is the worst, most bug-ridden release I can recall

Read any of the many reports from developers.

Software engineer here & off the top of my head… Safari’s UI sometimes breaks when full screen. Safari no longer correctly calculates viewport sizes on iOS or macOS causing numerous web apps to glitch. Various UI layer issues causing Chrome, Safari and other browsers to flicker when composing CSS filters. Audio crackle and frequent crashes of CoreAudio. Dozens of minor UI element placement issues in the OS & first-party apps. Frequent miscalculation of Liquid Glass where dark/light elements are not correctly rendered. Sluggish keyboard input sometimes. Sluggish scrolling, despite high FPS being reported. Memory leaks…

Not easy to avoid some of these things!

It will get better though!
